While I was at the school, I met with an advanced drawing class to talk about how they can do small master copies of these landscape paintings. I was also thrilled to learn that art teacher Kathryn Field has introduced her students to Bargue drawing and cast drawing! This is rare to find in a high school art classroom. It was inspiring to reconnect with the school and see what great work everyone is doing there. Lucky students!

Great to find this view of Richardt's "Winnipiseogee Lake" in this exhibit. Adds to my knowledge of him and his works, as I compile his life story for English readers. My earlier book (Danish text with my essay in English plus many color illustrations) is available online--the only publication documenting his considerable oeuvre.
